I grabbed the first three of these mango models in their boxes and strung them all with Ko’olau the Aho Low G set. All ukes on this video have those strings for even comparing. Matt and then Corey sample these back to back and then Corey gives a sampling of different woods from ‘Oli tenors playing the same thing. Matt finishes off jamming a bit on an ‘Oli baritone. More lessons and content from Matt coming soon.
Before starting the Pono Master Series and now ‘Oli with luthier Ryan Condon, I had tried a lattice braced custom uke that sounded loud but strident to me, and then ones from other builders that sound big and warm with rich overtones that I absolutely loved. The Pono MGTD is fan braced and the Master Series (MS models) and ‘Oli line is lattice braced, but generalizing bracing is like generalizing woods. It’s ok to a point but there are so many factors in the overall build. A Pono will sound different than a Ko’olau will sound different than a Kamaka, than an Enya, than a Moore Bettah. They all have fan bracing but even if they were made from the same block of wood they would have very noticeable tonal differences.
All aspects of design are factors. Body shape, sound hole placement, bracing size and scallop, top thickness, graduation, ports and all kinds of other things will make differences along with woods. I view the overall build as the voice and the wood as the microphone that colors that voice. But the more I learn and experience over the years the less I put things in a box or assume based on general specs. My advice is to find the sounds you are drawn to and then review that builders woods and other options for their tonal variances within their line. Personally I like a variety. Let us know what you like, think, and with any questions. Mahalo!
